opportunity  to  extend  our  thanks  to  our  many  friends  who  have 
aided  us  by  their  patronage  and  influence  in  distributing  Phar-

the  hope  that  our  efforts,  in  this  direction,  may  continue  to  gain 
for  us  a confidence  and  feeling  that  our  experience  covering  as 
it  has,  a period  of  over  forty  years  and  comprising  deep  scientific 
research  and  skillful  manipulations,  in  conjunction  with  a con- 
scientious desire  to  produce  only  the  best,  should  at  least  war- 
rant us  in  claiming  a perfection  of  manufacture  unexcelled. 

Such  facts  are  worthy  the  attention  of  Practitioners  who  are 
called  upon  to  battle  with  disease,  and  who  must  in  using  ready 
prepared  medicines,  depend  upon  a correctness  of  manufacture 
to  gain  the  looked  for  therapeutical  effects,  whereby  their  own 
reputations  are  sustained  and  the  ills  of  their  patients  alleviated. 

It  may  be  well,  in  this  connection,  to  reiterate  that  our  en- 
deavors have  always  been  directed  towards  the  production 
of  first-class  preparations,  regardless  of  cost  and  passing  the 
question  of  extreme  cheapness  which  so  often  arises  through 
competition  and  an  anxiety  to  dispose  of  products  ; all  of  which 
very  naturally  has  a tendencv  to  depreciate  quality  correspond- 
ingly with  the  falling  off  in  price. 

We  maintain  that  quality  is  of  primary  importance  and  in 
this  we  flatter  ourselves  that  we  have  received  the  undivided 
encouragement  and  support  of  an  intelligent  profession,  through-

INTRODUCTION. 


^THERAPEUTICS  (which  word  is  derived  from  the 
- * Greek  therapeuo,  I wait  upon,  I attend  upon  the 


cine  is  any  substance  which  may  be  used  in  alleviating 
the  sick;  medicines  are  therefore  therapeutic  agents. 
But  other  agents,  such  as  the  forces  of  nature,  (light,  heat, 
eleCtricity,  eCt. , ) actions  of  the  physician  or  nurse  (surgi- 
cal operations,  massage,  etc.)  and  efforts  of  the  patient 
himself  (dieting,  exercise,  etc.),  are  also  used  in  alleviat- 
ing the  sick,  and  must  therefore  be  classed  as  therapeu- 
tic agents,  but  they  are  not  medicines.  This  latter  class 
of  therapeutic  agents  need  not  be  considered  in  this  little 
volume  but  a short  description  of  the  many  little  details 
in  connection  with  the  first  class,  which  so  easily  slip  the 
memory  and  which  no  physician  should  be  ashamed  to 
look  up  in  a convenient  book,  will  be  given  in  the  fol- 
lowing pages.  The  author  disclaims  all  intention  of 
teaching  the  reader  anything  that  he  does  not  or  should 
not  already  know,  and  begs  simply  to  lay  this  book 
before  the  medical  public  as  a convenient  vade  mecum  or 
easy  book  of  reference,  wherewith  to  refresh  the  mem- 
ory and  to  which  to  turn  in  moments  of  doubt. 

Medicines  are  administered  as  therapeutic  agents  iv 
a variety  of  ways  for  the  purpose  of  combating  disease, 
and  should  be  seledted  for  a given  case,  so  that  their 
physiological  aCtion  upon  the  system,  or  part  of  the 
same,  shall  counteract  the  abnormal  condition  present 
and  bring  about  a return  to  the  normal  state.  For 
instance,  Pilocarpin  has  the  physiological  effeCt  of 


^ sick,  I alleviate),  means  the  explanation  of  the 

m modus  operandi  of  medicines  (Dunglison),  and  a medi-

WARNER’S  REFERENCE  BOOK. 


increasing  the  secretion  of  the  sweat,  and  of  stimulating 
the  glands  secreting  watery  fluids,  such  as  the  tears  and 
salivary  glands,  it  is  therefore  indicated  in  cases  in  which 
suppression  of  secretion  exists,  as  for  instance,  in  the 
febrile  stages  of  many  diseases,  the  immediate  effedt 
Deing  a profuse  sweating  and  a consequent  lowering  of 
the  temperature.  Or  again,  if  we  use  Atropia  in  the  eye 
for  the  purpose  of  breaking  up  adhesion  of  the  iris,  we 
make  use  of  the  physiological  adtion  of  the  drug  wdiich 
is  to  dilate  the  pupil.  These  examples  will  show  the 
meaning  of  the  above  definition.  But  most  medicines 
have  more  than  one  definite  physiological  adtion  and  it 
becomes  necessary  to  enhance  the  one  or  counteract  the 
other,  which  may  be  done  by  combining  medicines.  For 
instance,  if  we  give  small  doses  of  Calomel  for  its  adtion 
upon  the  liver  and  the  alimentary  canal,  we  can  enhance 
its  adtion  by  combining  it  with  an  alkali  such  as  Bicar- 
bonate of  Soda  ; or  if  we  give  Aloes  as  a drastic  purge  we 
can  mitigate  the  griping  produced  by  the  drug  by  com- 
bining with  it  some  aromatic,  as  cardamom  or  some  essen- 
tial oil,  as  oil  ot  cloves. 

Medicines  are  also  combined  in  order  to  produce 
their  physiological  effedt  upon  different  parts  of  the  sys- 
tem at  the  same  time,  as  for  instance,  when  a mixture  of 
Potassium  Bromide,  Potassium  Cyanide,  Extradt  Flui- 
dum  Prunus  Virginiana,  syrup  and  water  is  given  as 
an  expedlorant  or  cough  mixture.  In  this  instance  the 
Potassium  Bromide  is  intended  as  a nerve  sedative,  the 
Potassium  Cyanide  as  a sedative  to  allay  the  irritation 
of  the  mucous  membrane  of  the  respiratory  tradt,  the 
Prunus  Virginiana  as  a tonic  expedlorant  and  the  syrup 
and  water  as  a vehicle.  And  finally  medicines  are  com- 
bined with  a view  to  make  them  more  agreeable  to  the 
senses  of  the  patient,  and  in  some  degree  rob  them  of 
their  nauseous  qualities. 

It  should,  however,  always  be  borne  in  mind  when 
combining  medicines,  that  some  drugs  are  antagonistic

to  each  other  in  their  physiological  action,  or  that  they 
may  form  new  chemical  compounds  when  brought 
together  or  when  introduced  into  the  system,  or  that 
they  will  make  a nauseous  mixture  when  combined. 

Medicines  may  be  administered  in  a variety  of  ways, 
one  or  the  other  of  which  should  be  selected  according 
to  circumstances.  Thus,  the  usual  method  of  giving 
medicines  is  by  the  mouth,  to  be  swallowed  and  absorbed 
into  the  system,  but  it  may  also  be  given  by  injection 
into  the  bowels,  or  under  the  skin  by  the  hypodermatic 
method,  or  it  may  be  given  by  inhalation  to  be  absorbed 
by  the  lungs,  or  may  be  used  as  a topical  application  to 
the  skin  or  mucous  membranes  of  the  body. 

Physicians  in  larger  cities  and  towns  do  not  usually 
dispense  medicines  to  their  patients  dire<5t,  but  write  an 
order  for  the  drugs  they  wish  to  give,  which  is  termed  a 
prescription.  This  prescription  is  taken  to  a druggist  or 
apothecary,  whose  duty  it  is  to  mix  the  drugs  or  medi- 
cines ordered  by  the  physician  for  the  patient,  and  who 
usually  keeps  the  prescription  on  file,  becoming  thus  the 
custodian  of  the  same.  In  these  prescriptions  certain 
abbreviations  and  signs  are  used  which  are  remnants  of 
the  old  and  now  obsolete  style  of  writing  prescriptions  in 
Latin,  which  was  done  in  order  to  prevent  the  patient 
from  knowing  what  was  prescribed  for  him.  But  since 
these  abbreviations  and  signs  are  still  in  use  in  prescrip- 
tion writing,  a list  of  the  more  common  ones  is  given. 
All  those  referring  to  the  diredlions  for  the  patient  are 
left  out  because  this  part  of  the  prescription  is  intended 
to  be  read  by  him  and  should  therefore  under  all  circum- 
stances be  written  in  plain  legible  English.

The  dose  of  the  medicines  to  be  given  is  of  the 
utmost  importance,  and  the  physician  in  writing  a pre- 
scription should  never  be  uncertain  as  to  the  corredl 
maximum  or  minimum  dose  to  be  given  in  any  case.  He 
should  always  take  into  consideration  the  age  of  the 
patient,  idiosyncrasies  toward  certain  drugs,  if  such  exist 
in  the  individual,  and  tolerance  of  the  system  to  the 
effects  of  medicines  produced  by  continued  use  or  by 
other  conditions,  and  should  carefully  gauge  accordingly, 
the  dose  of  the  medicines  he  wishes  to  prescribe.  Care- 
lessness in  this  portion  of  the  art  of  prescription  writing 
is  very  dangerous,  for  the  difference  between  a poison 
and  a medicine  in  most  instances  lies  only  in  the  amount 
given.  And  further,  many  drugs  have  a different  physi  - 
ological  action  when  given  in  different  doses,  as  for 
instance,  Ipecac  which  adts  as  an  anti-emetic  and  stom- 
achic in  doses  of  and  ^ grains,  while  if  given  in  doses 
of  from  ^ to  grains  it  adts  as  an  expectorant  and 
diaphoretic,  and  finally  if  the  dose  is  increased  to  2 to  4 
grains  it  a<5ts  as  an  emetic.

WEIGHTS  AND  MEASURES. 


The  amount  of  each  drug  in  a prescription  is  express- 
ed in  grains,  scruples,  drachms,  ounces  and  pounds ; if 
it  be  a liquid,  in  minims,  drachms,  ounces,  pints  and 
gallons,  which  weights  and  measures  are  designated  by 
the  foilowning  signs :

In  France  and  Germany  and  to  some  extent  in  this 
country,  the  metric  system  of  weights  and  measures  is 
used  in  prescription  writing,  and  then  the  amount  is 
placed  in  ordinary  figures  after  the  symbol.

In  the  same  way  it  is  safer  to  prescribe  the  small

PRESCRIPTION  WRITING. 

In  writing  a prescription  containing  more  than  one 
ingredient,  a certain  order  of  the  different  drugs  should 
always  be  observed,  and  the  physiological,  chemical  and 
pharmaceutical  action  of  the  different  articles  entering 
into  the  compound  should  determine  their  position.  The 
main  symptoms  of  the  disease  to  be  combated,  calling 
for  a certain  medicine  to  be  gi^en,  determines  this  latter 
as  the  basis  of  the  prescription,  and  it  should  be  placed 
at  the  head.  The  second  place  is  taken  by  the  adjuvant, 
that  drug  or  medicine  which  shall  assist  the  basis  in  its 
action,  and  more  than  one  adjuvant  may  be  used,  follow- 
ing each  other  according  to  their  importance.  The  third 


PRESCRIPTION  WRITING. 


ii 


place  is  taken  by  the  corrective  which  counteracts  certain 
undesirable  qualities  of  either  the  basis  or  the  adjuvants, 
and  finally  the  vehicle  is  placed  last  on  the  list.  The 
next  step  is  to  determine  the  single  dose  of  the  basis  and 
adjuvants  and  of  the  corrective  if  the  latter  is  needed, 
and  also  to  fix  upon  the  number  and  size  of  the  doses  to 
be  taken  by  the  patient,  which  latter  will  determine  the 
quantity  of  the  vehicle  sufficient  to  make  up  the  full 
amount  of  mixture,  and  finally  the  single  dose  of  the 
basis  and  adjuvants  being  multiplied  with  the  number  of 
doses  to  be  taken  by  the  patient,  gives  the  gross  amount 
of  each  of  the  drugs.  For  instance,  Potassium  Bromide, 
Potassium  Cyanide,  Ext.  fl.  Prunus  Virginiana,  Syr. 
Simplex  and  water  are  to  be  given  as  a cough  mixture. 
In  this  case  the  Cyanide  is  the  basis,  the  Bromide  and  the 
Prunus  Virginiana  the  adjuvants,  while  the  Syrup  is  the 
corrective  and  the  water  the  vehicle.  A prescription 
containing  these  ingredients  should  be  written  thus  :

size  of  the  dose  to  be  taken  by  the  patient,  making  32

follows :

POSOLOGICAL  TABLE. 

In  this  table  an  alphabetical  list  is  given  of  the  most  com- 
monly used  drugs  and  their  most  valuable  pharmaceutical 
preparations,  together  with  the  minimum  and  maximum 
dose  for  adults,  in  apothecary  weights  and  in  the  metric  system 
and  finally  the  common  name  of  the  drug  or  preparation,  and 
also  the  physiological  action  of  the  different  drugs  and  their 
preparations.  The  particular  use  to  which  these  medicines  are 
put  in  combating  disease  cannot  be  added  in  a table  of  this 
kind,  nor  is  it  necessary  or  advisable  to  do  so,  as  the  physician 
must  be  the  best  judge  what  particular  drug  to  use  in  a given 
case,  and  should  he  be  in  doubt  as  to  the  best  means  to  attain 
the  desired  result,  he  has  other  books  which  he  can  refer  to 
for  more  detailed  information  as  to  the  action  of  drugs.

AID  IN  MEMORIZING  DOSES. 


33 


AID  IN  MEMORIZING  DOSES. 

To  commit  the  pharmacopceal  doses  to  memory  without 
something  like  artificial  means,  is  next  to  an  impossibility. 

Here  are  laid  down  some  general  rules  with  their  exceptions, 
which  are  thoroughly  reliable,  and,  as  far  as  they  go,  tend  to 
render  the  memorizing  of  dosage  a pleasure  rather  than  a toil. 
They  are  as  follows  : 

1.  The  dose  of  all  infusions  is  i to  2 ozs.,  except  infusion  of 
digitalis,  which  is  2 to  4 drs. 

2.  Dose  of  all  poisonous  tinctures  is  5 to  20  minims,  except 
tincture  of  aconite,  Dig.  and  Nux.  which  is  1 to  5. 

3.  Dose  of  all  wines  is  from  x/2  to  1 fl.  dr.,  except  wine  of 
opium,  Colch.  Radix,  which  is  5 to  15  minims. 

4.  Of  all  poisonous  solid  extracts  you  can  give  X gr.^ 
except  extract  of  calabar  bean  and  Cannab.  Ind.  which  is  it6  to 
X grains.  Extr.  Belladon.,  X gr* 

5.  Dose  of  all  dilute  acids  is  from  5 to  20  minims,  except 
dilute  hydrocyanic  acid,  which  is  2 to  8 minims. 

6.  Dose  of  all  aquae  is  from  1 to  2 ozs.,  except  aqua  lauro 
cerasus  and  aqua  ammonia,  which  is  10  to  30  minims. 

7.  Of  all  syrups  you  can  give  1 dr. 

8.  Dose  of  all  mixtures  is  from  X to  1 fl.  oz. 

9.  Dose  of  all  spirits  is  from  X to  1 fl.  dr. 

10.  Dose  of  all  essential  oils  is  from  1 to  5 minims. 

Doses  for  Hypodermatic  Injections  and  Formulae  for 

Solutions. 


The  hypodermatic  method  of  medication  is  used  in  all  cases 
in  which  immediate  and  decided  results  are  to  be  obtained. 
There  are  several  details  in  this  method  which  should  be  care- 
fully observed,  and  which  are  outlined  in  a few  words. 

1.  The  syringe  and  needles  should  be  scrupulously  clean 
and  the  piston  of  the  syringe  should  be  air  tight,  which  may  be 


WARNER’S  REFERENCE  BOOK. 


34 

tested  in  the  following  manner.  Place  the  index  finger  of  one 
hand  over  the  top  of  the  syringe  and  draw  with  the  other  hand 
the  piston  out  to  its  full  length,  then  let  go  the  piston,  and  if  it 
is  air  tight  it  will  return  to  its  former  position. 

2.  The  point  of  the  needle  should  be  as  sharp  as  possible 
and  the  little  wire  or  bristle  should  be  inserted  immediately 
after  cleansing  the  needle  to  prevent  rusting  and  clogging  of 
the  capillary  tube. 

3.  In  making  an  injection  care  should  be  taken  to  expel 
all  air  from  the  syringe  and  needle  before  the  latter  is  inserted 
into  the  fold  of  the  skin,  held  between  the  thumb  and  fore  fin- 
ger of  the  left  hand. 

4.  The  needle  should  be  thrust  beneath  the  skin  with  a 
quick  motion,  and  in  a slanting  direction  until  its  point  is  freely 
movable  in  the  subdermal  cellular  tissue.  After  the  withdrawal 
of  the  needle,  the  finger  should  be  pressed  over  the  puncture  for 
a few  seconds  to  prevent  the  return  of  the  fluid. 

5.  Veins,  inflamed  spots  and  bony  prominences  should  be 
avoided,  unless  the  injection  is  made  for  a special  purpose. 

6.  The  fleshy  part  of  the  arms  and  legs  and  the  abdomen 
are  the  most  convenient  places  for  injections  with  the  hypoder- 
matic syringe,  except  in  the  case  of  corrosive  sublimate  solution, 
which  should  always  be  injected  under  the  skin  of  the  back  on 
either  side  of  the  spinal  column. 

7.  The  solutions  should  be  freshly  made  and  filtered,  and 
should  be  neutral  so  as  to  prevent  the  formation  of  abscesses.

Most  of  the  more  common  remedies  for  hypodermatic  medi- 
cation are  now  manufactured  in  tablet  form,  each  tablet  containing 
the  required  dose  and  readily  soluble  in  water,  so  that  the  physi- 
cian can  carry  a number  of  different  drugs  in  his  case,  together 
with  the  syringe  and  readily  use  them  when  occasion  requires. 


INCOMPATIBLES. 

Incompatibles  are  those  combinations  of  drugs  in  a prescrip- 
tion which  interfere  with  each  other,  either  in  a physiological 
sense,  that  is,  their  physiological  action  is  opposed,  as  for 
instance  Opium  and  Belladonna,  or  in  a chemical  sense  where 
two  substances  when  brought  in  contact  form  a new  chemical 
compound  different  in  action  from  either  of  the  two  compounds, 
as  for  instance,  Hydrochloric  Acid  and  Calomel  which  forms 
corrosive  sublimate,  or  an  acid  and  an  alkali  which  neutralize 
each  other  and  form  a salt  with  the  evolution  of  gas.  And 
finally,  in  a pharmaceutical  sense,  when  drugs  are  prescribed  in 
combination  which  will  not  make  a mixture  pleasant  to  the 
senses,  or  which  cannot  be  brought  into  the  required  form,  as 
for  instance,  the  combination  of  Iron  or  its  salts  with  any  drug 
containing  Tannic  Acid,  which  will. form  the  tannate  of  Iron  or

ink  ; or  a combination  of  oil  and  a watery  extract  which  will 
not  mix.  In  this  latter  case  however,  the  difficulty  is  overcome 
by  the  art  of  pharmacy,  which  has  devised  means  of  mixing  oil 
and  water  in  the  form  of  an  emulsion  by  the  aid  of  other  inert 
substances. 

The  space  of  this  little  volume  is  too  limited  to  give  an 
alphabetical  table  of  incompatibles,  and  therefore,  only  the  gene- 
ral principles  are  given  ; which  however  will  be  sufficient  to  aid 
the  memory  of  the  reader  and  enable  him  to  avoid  glaring  mis- 
takes which  might  injure  him  in  the  estimation  of  his  patients.

WITH  A FEW  HINTS  AS  TO  THE  TREATMENT  OF  THE  OASES, 


It  is  frequently  the  case,  especially  in  children  or  in  crimi. 
nal  cases,  that  the  particular  poison  which  has  been  ingested,  is 
not  known  to  the  physician  and  he  should  then  direct  his  atten- 
tion to  eliminating  every  trace  of  ingesta  from  the  stomach  by

giving  a brisk  emetic  of  mustard  which  is  usually  found  in 
every  household,  and  if  possible  use  the  stomach  pump.  This 
instrument  works  on  the  syphon  principle  and  empties  the 
stomach  of  its  contents  more  rapidly  than  an  emetic  would,  and 
is  used  in  those  cases  in  which  emesis  can  not  be  induced  in  the 
vr  din  ary  way.  Great  care  should  be  exercised  in  its  use  so  as 
not  to  injure  the  mucous  membrane  of  the  oesophagus  or  stom- 
ach, particularly  where  irritant  poisons  have  been  swal- 
lowed. 

Calcined  M agnesia,  Charcoal  and  Sesqui  Oxide  of  Iron  in 
combination  sh  ould  next  be  given  with  a sufficient  quantity  of 
water,  and  then  the  particular  symptoms  should  be  noted  with  a 
view  to  determine  the  character  of  the  poison,  so  that  its  phy- 
ological  action  may  be  combated  by  appropriate  remedies,  and 
this  should  be  be  put  in  writing  so  that  in  case  the  patient  dies 
and  the  physician  is  called  on  the  witness  stand  he  can  refer  to 
his  notes  of  the  case. 

* 

Antidotes  where  the  poison  is  known  are  divided  into  two 
classes,  chemical  and  physiological.  The  first  class  acts  by 
chemically  decomposing  the  poison  or  forming  with  it  inert 
combinations,  so  as  to  destroy  its  action  upon  the  system,  while 
the  second  class  acts  antagonistically  to  the  physiological  action 
of  the  poison.  Thus  where  an  acid  has  been  swallowed  give  an 
alkali,  such  as  magnesia  or  white  wash  scraped  off  the  walls  so 
as  to  neutralize  the  acid,  and  if  a depressant  poison  such  as 
opium  is  in  the  system,  give  stimulants  such  as  friction  with  cold 
water,  coffee,  atropia,  and  exercise.

MARSHALL  HALL’S  READY  METHOD  IN  ASPHYXIA. 


I.  Treat  the  patient  instantly  on  the  spot,  in  the  open  air, 
freely  exposing  the  face,  neck  and  chest  to  the  breeze,  except  in 
severe  weather. 

II.  In  order  to  clear  the  throat,  place  the  patient  gently  on 
the  face  with  one  wrist  under  the  forehead,  that  all  fluid  and 
tongue  itself  may  fall  forward,  leaving  entrance  to  wind  pipe  free. 

III*.  To  excite  respiration,  turn  the  patient  slightly  on  his 
side,  and  apply  some  irritating  or  stimulating  agent  to  the 
nostrils,  as  Veratrine,  Dil.  Ammonia,  etc. 

IV.  Make  the  face  warm  by  brisk  friction  ; then  dash  cold 
water  upon  it. 

V.  If  not  successful  lose  no  time  to  imitate  respiration ; 
place  the  patient  on  his  face,  and  turn  the  body  gently  but  com- 
pletely, on  one  side  and  a little  beyond  ; then  again  on  the  face, 
and  so  on  alternately.  Repeat  these  movements  deliberately 


READY  METHOD  IN  ASPHYXIA. 


V 


and  perserveringly,  fifteen  times  only  in  a minute.  (When 
patient  lies  on  the  thorax,  this  cavity  is  compressed  by  the 
weight  of  the  body  and  expiration  takes  place ; when  he  is 
turned  on  the  side,  this  pressure  is  removed  and  inspiration 
occurs). 

VI.  When  the  prone  position  is  resumed,  make  uniform 
and  efficient  pressure  along  the  spine,  removing  the  pressure 
immediately  before  rotation  on  the  side.  (The  pressure  aug- 
ments the  expiration,  and  rotation  commences  inspiration.) 
Continue  these  measures. 

VII.  Rub  the  limbs  upward,  with  firn?  pressure  and  with 
energy.  (The  object  being  to  aid  the  return  of  venous  blood  to 
the  heart.) 

VIII.  Substitute  for  the  patient’s  wet  clothing,  if  possible, 
such  other  covering  as  can  be  instantly  procured.  Meantime, 
and  from  time  to  time,  to  excite  inspiration,  let  the  smface  of 
the  body  be  slapped  briskly  with  the  hand, 

IX.  Rub  the  body  briskly  until  it  is  dry  and  warm,  then 
dash  cold  water  upon  it,  and  repeat  the  rubbing. 

X.  Avoid  the  immediate  removal  of  the  patient,  as  it 
involves  a dangerous  loss  of  time  ; also  the  use  of  the  bellows 
or  any  forcing  instrument ; also  the  warm  bath  and  all  rough 
treatment, 

SIGNS  OF  PREGNANCY* 


1.  Suppression  of  the  menses. 

2.  Nausea,  vomiting  and  digestive  disturbances  up  to  the 
fifth  month,  then  disappearing  to  appear  again  for  the  first  fort- 
night of  the  ninth  month. 

3.  Enlargement  of  the  abdomen,  at  three  or  three  and  a 
half  months  the  hypograstic  region  becomes  pouting  and  a small 
protuberance  perceptible  growing  regularly  and  more  volumi- 
nous during  the  remaining  term  of  pregnancy. 

4.  The  Fundus  uteri,  at  the  end  of  the  third  month,  is  on 
a level  with  the  superior  strait ; at  the  end  of  the  fourth  month

the  uterine  tumor  can  be  clearly  perceived  through  the  abdomi 
nal  walls,  the  fundus  being  midway  between  the  pubis  and 
umbilicus  ; end  of  fifth  month,  one  finger’s  breath  below  the 
umbilicus  ; at  the  end  of  sixth  month,  same  distance  above  it ; 
in  the  seventh  month,  four  fingers  above  it ; in  the  eighth 
month,  five  or  six  fingers  above  it;  at  the  beginning  of  the  ninth 
month,  reaches  the  epigastric  region,  gaining  the  borders  of 
the  false  ribs  on  the  right  side,  but  in  the  last  fortnight  of  the 
last  month  sinks  a little  lower. 

5.  Tumefaction  of  the  breasts,  accompanied  with  a sensa- 
tion of  prickling  and  tenderness  sets  in  about  the  second  month, 
and  at  the  fourth  month  is  much  augmented,  at  which  time  the 
nipple  becomes  prominent,  with  discoloration  of  the  areola,  the 
latter  increases  and  the  breasts  present  a spotted  appearance. 

6.  Glandiform  tubercles  form  in  the  breasts  about  the  fifth 
month  and  are  fully  developed  about  the  eighth,  when  flow  of 
milk  may  set  in. 

7.  Uterus  has  descended  and  is  less  movable  in  the  first 
two  months,  the  neck  inclining  toward  the  left. 

8.  The  umbilical  ring  is  depressed,  its  bottom  drawn  down- 
wards and  backwards,  the  circumference  the  seat  of  a distressing 
dragging  sensation  in  the  first  two  months  ; less  so  in  the  fourth 
and  fifth  months  ; less  hollow  than  before  conception  in  the  fifth 
and  sixth  months ; the  depression  is  wholly  efaced  and  on  a 
level  with  the  skin  of  the  abdomen  in  the  seventh  month  ; the 
naval  pouts  out  in  the  last  two  months  and  there  are  streaks  and 
stains  on  the  abdomen,  a brown  line  extending  from  pubis  to 
umbilicus. 

9.  Varicose  and  oedematous  condition  of  the  vulva  and 
lower  extremities,  from  the  seventh  month  and  increasing 
until  term. 

10.  Quickening,  or  foetal  movements,  sounds  of  the  foetal 
heart  and  abdominal  soufle,  and  foetal  irregularities  can  be 
detected  about  the  fifth  month. 

11.  Ballotement  can  be  detected  in  the  sixth  month,  but 
more  readily  in  the  seventh,  and  obscurely  during  the  eighth 
month. 


SIGNS  OF  PRECNANCY- 


43 


12.  Difficult  respiration  in  the  latter  part  of  the  eighth  and 
first  part  of  the  ninth  months,  but  less  oppressed  during  the 
last  fortnight. 

13.  Difficulty  in  walking  during  the  last  month. 

14.  Frequent  desire  to  urinate,  pains  in  loins  and  colic 
during  last  fortnight  of  the  ninth  month. 

15.  The  orifice  of  the  os  is  round  in  the  primiparae  but  more 
patulous  in  the  multiparae  during  the  first  two  months  ; the 
periphery  is  at  this  time  softened  but  more  so  during  the  third 
and  fourth  months,  the  extremity  of  the  finger  can  be  inserted 
in  the  os  of  the  multiparae,  while  that  of  the  primiparae  is 
rounded  and  closed  ; the  mucous  membrane  covering  the  lips 
becomes  softened  and  cedematous,  also  the  intravaginal  portion 
of  the  neck.

Table  for  Calculating  the  Duration  of  Pregnancy,  and  the 
probable  time  of  Labor. 


Normal  labor  occurs  in  about  280  days  from  the  beginning  of  the  last 
menstrual  period ; that  date  having  been  ascertained  the  figures  adjacent 
to  the  right  hand  one  of  each  colum  will  designate  the  time  when  the  event 
may  be  looked  for.  To  illustrate  : January  1st  confinement  would  occur 
October  8th  ; February  1st,  November  5th  ; May  10th,  February  14th.  When 
the  days  of  the  month  terminate,  the  following  month  will  be  found  at  the 
foot  of  the  column.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  MAKING  POST  MORTEM  EXAMINATIONS.  49 


Directions  for  making  Post  Mortem  Examinations. 


In  making  a post  mortem  examination  much  time  and  labor 
will  be  saved  if  the  physician  proceeds  systematically  and  notes 
everything  in  writing.  In  the  following  the  reader  will  find  a 
few  hints  which  may  be  useful  to  him  in  making  post  mortem 
examinations,  while  he  is  referred  for  a more  detailed  descrip- 
tion to  such  works,  as  Virchow’s  Manual  of  Post-mortem  Exam- 
inations, Heath’s  Manual  of  Minor  Surgery,  Dunglison’s  Refer- 
ence Book  and  others. 

The  instruments  necessary  are  a dissecting  case,  to  which  is 
added  a bone  saw,  a hammer  and  chisel,  and  some  strong  surgi- 
cal needles  with  stout  linen  thread  well  waxed  for  sewing  up  the 
incissions  made  in  the  skin.  The  physician  should  also  provide 
himself  with  some  strips  of  parchment  paper  for  labeling  speci- 
mens for  microscopical  examination,  waxed  paper  for  wrapping 
them  up,  and  in  cases  of  suspected  poisoning  with  clean  jars 
for  the  contents  of  the  stomach  and  intestines  to  be  examined 
chemically.  If  the  examination  is  to  be  conducted  in  a private 
honse,  the  family  should  provide  several  basins,  hot  and  cold 
water,  soap  and  towels,  as  well  as  some  protective  covering  for 
the  f.oor  to  prevent  soiling  the  carpet.  The  physician  should 
be  ar*  careful  as  possible  to  avoid  disfigurement  of  the  body, 
soili  lg  of  the  carpet  or  furniture  of  the  room,  and  loud  talking 
whi  :h  might  be  heard  by  the  relatives  of  the  deceased  and  hurt 
the  r feelings. 

In  medico  legal  cases  it  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  a 
careful  record  be  kept  of  everything  in  connection  with  the  post 
mortem  examination,  and  this  is  also  very  desirable  in  ordinary 
cases  which  are  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  determining  the 
pathology  of  the  disease,  and  therefore  the  operator  should  have 
paper  and  pen  and  ink  to  make  the  necessary  notes. 

The  following  four  cardinal  points  should  be  borne  in  mind, 
whereby  the  inquiry  is  systematised  and  much  time  and  labor 
is  saved. 


5o 


WARNER’S  RKFER^NCE  BOOK. 


In  medico  legal  cases  note  : 

1.  Was  the  individual  viable  and  did  he  live  ? 

2.  If  he  has  lived  how  long  has  he  been  dead  ? 

3.  The  cause  of  death. 

4.  The  pathology  of  the  disease  from  which  he  died. 

The  latter  point  enters  into  the  question  only  in  ordinary 

non  medico  legal  cases.  Nothing  should  be  guessed  at  but 
every  fact  stated  correctly  without  inferences  of  any  kind. 
State  the  date  and  the  hour  of  the  day  when  the  examination 
was  begun,  and  in  ordinary  cases  how  long  after  death. 

External  Appearances. — Note  the  position  of  the  body,  the 
condition  of  the  clothes,  wounds  or  bruises,  or  other  external 
signs  of  violence,  giving  exact  measurement  of  wounds,  and 
compare  the  same  with  any  instrument  which'  may  have  been 
found  near  the  body.  In  case  the  body  is  not  known,  examine 
the  hair,  the  teeth  and  other  peculiarities,  such  as  moles,  scars 
or  other  distinctive  features  for  identification  of  the  body  after- 
wards. In  ordinary  cases  only  the  rigor  mortis  need  be  noted. 

After  the  hands  and  arms  have  been  bared  and  carefully 
anointed  with  carbolized  oil  or  cosmoline  to  prevent  poisoning, 
make  an  incision  into  the  skin  from  the  upper  edge  of  the  ster- 
num to  the  pubic  bone,  making  a curve  around  the  umbilicus. 
Then  cut  down  carefully  through  the  superficial  and  deep  fascia 
of  the  abdominal  walls  an  inch  or  so  above  the  pubis,  and  lift- 
ing the  abdominal  integument  with  the  left  hand,  introduce  the 
knife  with  its  back  downwards  into  the  cut  and  slit  the  abdo- 
men open  up  to  the  diaphragm,  cutting  through  the  muscles 
and  peritoneum,  thus  exposing  the  abdominal  viscera.  Note 
the  position  of  the  diaphragm,  the  relative  position  of  the 
abdominal  viscera,  the  quantity  and  character  of  the  fluid  con- 
tained in  the  cavity,  without  however  as  yet  disturbing  anything 
by  manipulation.  Next  open  the  thorax  by  dissecting  the  skin 
and  pectoral  muscles  from  the  sternum  and  costal  cartilages 
and  then  by  cutting  through  the  sterno-clavicular  articulation 
on  either  side,  and  through  the  costal  cartilages  as  close  to  the 
ribs  as  possible.  Tift  the  lower  end  of  the  sternum  and  detach 
the  diaphragm  and  pleura  from  its  under  surface,  when  it  can 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  MARINO  POST  MORTEM  EXAMINATIONS.  $! 

be  lifted  up  and  the  thoracic  viscera  are  exposed.  Note  amount 
and  character  of  fluid  in  pleural  cavities,  the  color  and  size  of 
the  lungs  and  heart,  and  their  relative  position.  Examine  and 
note  the  condition  of  the  different  organs  in  the  following  order  : 

1.  The  pericardium  and  pericardial  fluid. 

2.  Ventricles  of  heart,  valves,  auricles,  large  vessels. 

3.  Lungs,  bronchi  and  trachea,  mediastinal  and  other 
glands. 

4.  Larynx. 

5.  Oesophagus. 

6.  Internal  surface  of  ribs  and  spinal  column  after  the 
thoracic  viscera  have  been  removed. 

In  the  same  way  examine  the  abdominal  organs  and  note 
their  condition  in  the  following  order  : 

1.  Stomach. — In  suspected  poisoning  remove  the  organ 
with  its  contents,  empty  the  latter  into  a clean  j ar,  seal  it  and 
label  it,  adding  date  and  hour,  then  open  the  stomach  along  its 
convexity  and  examine  its  mucous  membrane,  removing  for 
microscopical  examination  small  pieces,  say  one  inch  square 
from  different  portions  of  the  organ. 

2.  Intestines  with  omentum,  mesentery  and  glands. 

3.  Liver  and  gall  bladder  with  duct. 

4.  Pancreas. 

5.  Spleen. 

6.  Kidneys  with  suprarenal  capsules  and  ureters. 

7.  Abdominal  vessels  and  ganglia. 

8.  Bla  dder. 

9.  Uterus  and  its  appendages. 

In  cases  of  sudden  death  in  the  female  in  which  large  effu- 
sion of  blood  is  found  in  the  abdominal  cavity,  search  for  rup- 
ture of  sack  of  extra  uterine  pregnancy  and  carefully  search  the 
blood  clots  for  product  of  conception.  In  cases  where  it  is 
deemed  necessary  to  examine  the  nerve  centres,  the  brain  and 
spinal  cord,  the  operator  should  place  the  cadaver  upon  the  chest 
and  abdomen,  with  the  head  projecting  beyond  the  edge  of  the 
table,  then  part  the  hair  across  the  vortex  from  ear  to  ear  and 
make  an  incision  on  this  line  down  to  the  bone.  The  scalp  can 


52 


WARNER’S  REFERENCE  BOOK. 


then  easily  be  drawn  forward  and  reflected  over  the  forehead 
and  backwards  over  the  occiput,  thus  baring  the  whole  cal- 
varium. An  incision  is  then  made  around  the  skull  through  the 
occipito-frontalis  and  the  temporal  muscles,  the  line  running 
from  about  an  inch  above  the  eyebrows  to  the  level  of  the  upper 
edge  of  the  external  ear,  and  from  there  to  a point  about  one 
inch  above  the  occipital  protuberance,  thus  forming  a sharp 
angle  just  behind  the  ear.  This  form  of  cut  when  executed  with 
the  saw  will  remove  a sufficiently  large  piece  of  the  skull  for 
the  examination  of  the  brain,  and  which  at  the  same  time  is  held 
in  place  by  the  scalp  alone  without  wiring  when  the  examina- 
tion is  completed.  In  making  the  saw  cut,  care  should  be  taken 
not  to  wound  the  dura  mater  and  brain,  but  to  depend  upon  the 
leverage  of  the  chisel  to  completely  sever  the  bone. 

The  brain  being  exposed,  examine  the  inner  surface  of  the 
skull  cap  for  fractures,  the  surface  of  the  dura  mater,  longitu- 
dinal sinus,  pia  mater  and  brain  ; then  open  dura  mater  and  note 
amount  of  cerebro-spinal  fluid.  Next  make  incisions  into  the 
brain  after  having  removed  it  from  the  cavity  of  the  cranium, 
with  as  much  of  the  medulla  oblongata  as  can  be  reached,  from 
before  backward  through  the  hemispheres  and  note  the  condi- 
tion of  the  brain  substance  and  its  vessels,  also  open  the  ventri- 
cles and  make  incisions  into  the  cerebellum. 

The  last  step  in  the  examination  is  to  open  the  spinal  canal 
and  examine  its  contents  ; to  do  this,  make  an  incision  through 
the  skin  along  the  whole  length  of  the  spinal  column,  retract 
the  skin  and  then  divide  the  muscles  on  either  side  of  the  spi- 
nous processes  of  the  vertebrae  and  dissect  them  back  laterally, 
thus  exposing  the  lamina  of  the  vertebrae.  A saw  cut  is  then 
carried  throughout  the  whole  length  of  the  spinal  column  on 
either  side  of  the  spinous  processes,  and  by  the  aid  of  the  mallet 
and  chisel  the  bony  vault  is  removed  and  the  spinal  cord  exposed. 
Kxamine  the  cord  in  situ  and  note  the  condition  of  the  mem- 
branes, the  amount  and  character  of  the  cerebro-spinal  fluid 
and  the  superficial  vessels.  Then  remove  the  cord  from  its  bed 
after  having  cut  the  nerve  trunks  on  either  side,  and  make 
transverse  incisions  at  intervals  of  one  or  one  and  a half  inches,

so  as  to  examine  the  substance  of  the  cord.  If  it  is  to  be  pre- 
served for  microscopic  examination,  the  cord  and  portions  of 
the  brain  should  be  placed  in  dilute  alcohol  or  in  Muellers*  fluid 
All  organs  should  be  weighed  and  their  weights  recorded  ana 
compared  with  the  normal  weight  as  given  by  Quain  and  Sharpey 
in  Heath’s  Manual  of  Surgery.

PARVULES.* 

The  great  advantage  of  giving  medicines  in  the  form  of  So/u- 
ble  Parvules  is,  that  in  the  first  place,  remedies  may  be  admin- 
istered in  an  agreeable  form  in  definitely  sub-divided  doses  thus 
obtaining  the  physiological  action  of  the  drug,  and  secondly, 
that  any  number  of  drugs  may  be  combined  in  any  desirable 
dose  by  the  physician  himself  without  the  aid  of  the  druggist, 
and  without  the  necessity  of  weighing  or  measuring  tinctures, 
powders  or  extracts  and  combining  them  in  an  agreeable  form*

our  method  of  manipulation  and  coating,  and  physicians  should

As  a corrective  of  nausea  or 


lack  of  appetite  in  the  morn- 
ing, induced  by  over  indul- 
gence in  food  or  stimulants 
during  the  night,  these  pills 
are  unsurpassed  ; they  should 
be  taken  in  doses  of  two  pills 
before  retiring  or  in  the  morn- 
ing at  least  one  hour  before 
eating;  the  first  mentioned 
time  is  the  most  desirable  as 
the  effects  are  more  decided, 
owing  to  the  longer  period  for 
action  and  the  natural  rest  is 
more  fully  experienced  through 
their  mild  but  effective  in-

Iodoform,  i gr. 

Ferri  Carb.  (Vallett’s)2  grs. 

Quiniae  Sul.  y2  gr. 

Iodoform  therapeutically  is 
alterative,  nervine,  sorbefa- 
cient,  antiperiodic,  and  anaes- 
thetic. As  an  alterative  it  acts 
with  more  rapidity  than  other 
medicines  of  that  class,  in 
doses  of  one,  two  or  three 
grains,  repeated  thrice  daily. 
As  a nervine  it  is  prompt  and 
efficient ; while  it  gives  ner- 
vous strength,  it  calms  speedily 
the  most  severe  pains. 

It  is  rapidly  absorbed  into 
the  blood. 

Accumulative  effects  have 
not  been  observed. 

Iodoform  is  destitute  of  any 
local  irritant  action,  and  has 
that  advantage  over  all  other 
iodic  remedies. 

It  may  be  administered, 
with  reasonable  expectation  of 
success,  in  the  following  dis- 
eases : 

Neuralgia  of  every  descrip- 
tion, chronic  rheumatism,  con- 
sumption, scrofula,  ophthal- 
mia, chronic  ulcerations,  and 
skin  diseases,  syphilis,  and 
certain  affections  of  the  neck 
of  the  bladder  and  prostate 
gland,  and  whenever  a power- 
ful alterative  agent  is  needed. 
This  quality  of  Iodoform  is 
greatly  enhanced  in  the  major- 
ity of  cases,  by  the  addition 
of  pure  iron,  Fer.  per  hydrog.

EFFERVESCENT 

LITHIA  TABLETS 

diuretitc  and  antacid. 

TO  BE  USED  FOR  MAKING  LITHIA  WATER. 

An  elegant,  portable  and  effectual  remedy  in 

GOUT,  RHEUMATISM,  GRAVEL,  STONE  IN  THE  BLADDER, 
ECZEMA,  BRIGHT’S  DISEASE,  ETC.,  ETC. 


Each  tablet  contains  3 grains  Ci- 
trate of  Lithia  and  affords  a con- 
venient method  for  administering 
definite  quantity  of  soluble  Lithia  in 
a pleasant  form,  besides  the  advan- 
tage of  having  fresh  water  with  each 
dose ; presenting  a therapeutic  value 
of  a higher  standard  than  the  various 
spring  waters  which  oftentimes  con- 
tain but  an  indefinite  quantity  of 
the  needed  salt. 

Our  compressed  Lithia  tablets  are 
convenient  for  the  preparation  of 
artificial  Lithia  water,  useful  in  the 
treatment  of  sub-acute  and  chronic 
cases  of  Rheumatism,  Rheumatic 
Gout,  Uric  Acid,  Diathesis,  Renal 
Calculi  composed  of  Uric  Acid,  Irrit- 
able Bladder,  from  excess  of  acid  in 
the  urine. 

The  dose  is  usually  one  tablet  in 
a glass  of  fresh  water  three  times 
daily,  except  otherwise  directed  by 
the  physician  in  charge. 

A tablet  dropped  in  a tumbler  of 
fresh  water,  will,  in  a few  moments, 
entirely  dissolve  with  effervescence, 

producing  a pleasant,  sparkling  draught. 

The  dose  of  artificial  Lithia  water,  as  prepared  from  Warner  & Co.’s 
Compressed  Tablets,  can  be  regulated  very  readily  by  dissolving  one 
or  more  in  any  desired  quantity  of  water,  from  a tumblerful  to  a pint, 
quart  or  gallon,  and  taken  as  may  be  indicated.

chronic  Gout,  Rheumatism,  Rheumatic  Headache,  Sciatica, 
Neuralgia,  and  disorders  of  the  Liver  and  Kidneys.  The 
ingredients  entering  into  its  composition  are  each  a well-known 
remedy  in  the  cure  of  these  painful  and  dangerous  conditions, 
and  this  preparation  is  regarded  as  a specific.

„_^_^JLIQUID  

PANCREOPEPSINE. 

(DIGESTIVE  FLUID.) 


This  Preparation  contains  in  an  agreeable  form  the 
natural  and  assimilative  principles  of  the  digestive  fluids, 
comprising  Pancreatine,  Pepsin,  Lactic  and  Muriatic 
Acids.  The  best  means  of  re-establishing  a healthy  con- 
dition, where  the  power  to  digest  and  assimilate  food  is 
impaired,  is  to  administer  principles  capable  of  commu- 
nicating the  elements  necessary  to  convert  the  food  into 
nutriment. 

The  value  of  Liquid  Pancreopepsine  in  this  connec- 
tion has  been  fully  established,  and  we  can  recommend 
it  with  confidence  to  the  Medical  Profession  as  superior 
to  Pepsin  alone.  It  aids  in  digesting  animal  and  vege- 
table cooked  food,  fatty  and  amylaceous  substances,  and 
may  be  employed  in  all  cases  where,  from  prolonged  sick- 
ness or  other  causes,  the  alimentary  processes  are  not  in 
their  normal  condition.

THE  MOST  PERFECT  FORM  OF  DOSIMETRY 


IS  AFFORDED  BY 


j PARVULES.  f 

O — O 

The  term  Parvule,  from  Parvum  (small),  is  applied  to  a new 
class  of  remedies  (Warner  & Co.’s)  in  the  form  of  minute  pills, 
containing  minimum  doses  for  frequent  repetition  in  cases  of 
children  and  adults.  It  is  claimed  by  some  practitioners  that 
small  doses,  given  at  short  intervals,  exert  a more  salutary 
effect.  Sydney  Ringer,  M.  I).,  in  his  recent  works  on  Thera- 
peutics, sustains  this  theory  in  a great  variety  of  cases.

DOSE. — One  to  two  every  hour.  Two  of  above  Parvules, 
taken  every  hour,  until  five  or  six  doses  are  administered  (which 
will  comprise  but  half  a grain),  produce  an  activity  of  the  liver 
which  will  be  followed  by  bilious  dejections  and  beneficial 
effects,  that  twenty  grains  of  Blue  Mass  or  ten  grains  of  Calo- 
mel rarely  cause,  and  sickness  of  the  stomach  does  not  usually 
follow.

Parvules  of  Corrosive  Sublimate, 

(Warner  & Co.) 

Dr.  Ringer,  in  his  treatise,  lays  great  stress  upon  the  efficacy 
of  minimum  doses  of  Corrosive  Sublimate  in  the  treatment  of 
Diarrhoea,  whether  the  stools  contain  blood  or  not. 

Parvules  of  Aloin, 

(Warner  & Co.) 

Med.  Prop. — A most  desirable  Cathartic. 

The  most  useful  application  of  this  Parvule  is  in  periodic 
irregularities — Dysmenorrhcea  and  Amenorrhoea.  They  should 
be  given  in  doses  of  one  or  two  every  evening  at  and  about  the 
expected  time. 

Dos^. — Four  to  six  at  once.  This  number  of  Parvules,  taken 
at  any  time,  will  be  found  to  exert  an  easy,  prompt  and  ample 
cathartic  effect,  unattended  with  nausea,  and  in  all  respects  fur- 
nishing the  best  aperient  and  cathartic  preparation  in  use.  For 
habitual  constipation,  they  replace  when  taken  in  single  par- 
vules the  various  medicated  waters,  avoiding  the  quantity 
required  by  the  latter  at  a dose,  which  nils  the  stomach  and 
deranges  the  digestive  organs. 

Parvules  of  Podophyllin, 

(Warner  & Co.) 

Med.  Prop. — Cathartic,  Cholagogue. 

Two  Parvules  of  Podophyllin,  administered  three  times  a 
day,  will  re-establish  and  regulate  the  peristaltic  action  and  re- 
lieve habitual  constipation,  add  tone  to  the  liver,  and  invigorate 
the  digestive  functions. 

Parvules  of  Arsenit:  Potash, 

(Warner  & Co.) 

This  Parvule  will  be  of  great  use  to  physicians,  as  two  Par- 
vules represent  the  equivalent  of  one  drop  of  Fowler’s 
Solution,  so  that  physicians  can  regulate  the  dose  by  giving 
one  or  more  Parvules  every  hour. 

Parvules  of  Nux  Vomica,  ~. 

(Warner  & Co.) 

Nux  Vomica,  according  to  Ringer,  is  possessed  of  real  cura- 
tive powers  for  sick  headache,  accompanied  with  acute  gastric 
catarrh,  whether  due  to  error  in  diet,  constipation,  or  no  appar- 
ent cause.  He  regards  it,  administered  in  small  and  frequently 
repeated  doses,  as  useful  in  many  disturbances  of  the  gastric 
functions.

A NEW  HYPODERMIC  SYRINGE. 

ASEPTIC,  UNBREAKABLE,  ACCURATE. 


Always  ready  for  use.  No  leather  or  rubber  washer  on 
piston.  No  glass  to  break  at  a critical  moment. 
Piston  one  solid  piece  of  metal.  Gradua- 
tions marked,  in  minums  and  cubic 
centimeters,  on  piston. 


Invented  by  Dr.  C.  W.  Dennis. 


The  entire  instrument  can 
be  boiled  to  produce  steri- 
lization; this  in  itself  is  a 
most  important  feature  of  the 
new  instrument  possessed 
by  none  of  the  old-fashioned 
syringes.  Each  syringe  is 
packed  in  a handsome  alumi- 
num case,  containing  two 
needles  and  four  tablet  tubes. 

The  construction  of  the 
needle  for  this  instrument 
presents  another  valuable  ad- 
dition, in  that  having  a screw 
which  forces  the  cone-shaped 
head  against  corresponding 
shoulder,  making  a perfectly 
air-tight  and  solid  joint,  doing 
away  with  the  necessity  of  a 
leather  or  other  washer. 

The  construction  of  the 
entire  instrument  is  of  metal, 
heavily  nickel-plated,  with 
the  exception  of  a small  cork 
ring  in  the  cap  on  barrel  of 
syringe,  which  upon  being 
screwed  down,  tightens  the 
ring  around  piston  and  serves 
to  take  up  any  possible  wear.

MATERIA  MEDICA  AND  THERAPEUTICS 

EDITION  1879. 


INGLUVIN.— This  is  a preparation  from  the  gizzard  of  the  domestic 
chicken — ventriculus  callosus  gallinaceus.  Dose,  gr.  v. — j. 

Ingluvin  has  the  remarkable  property  of  arresting  certain  kinds 
of  vomiting — notably  the  vomiting  of  pregnancy.  It  is  a stomachic 

tonic,  and  relieves  indigestion,  flatulence  and  dyspepsia. 

The  author’s  experience  is  confirmatory  of  the  statements  which 
have  been  put  forth  regarding  the  exceptional  power  of  this  agent  to 
arrest  the  vomiting  of  pregnancy.  It  can  be  administered  in  inflamma- 
tory conditions  of  the  mucous  membrane,  as  it  has  no  irritant  effect. 
Under  ordinary  circumstances,  and  when  the  object  of  its  administra- 
tion is  to  promote  the  digestive  functions,  it  should  be  administered 
after  meals.  When  the  object  is  to  arrest  the  vomiting  of  pregnancy, 
it  should  be  given  before  meals. 


EDITION  1889. 


INGLUVIN  is  a * * preparation  said  to  be  made  of  the  gizzard 
of  the  domestic  chicken  ( ventriculus  callosus  gallinaceus).  Dose, 
gr.  v. — J}j.  Ingluvin  has.  the  remarkable  property  of  arresting 
certain  kinds  of  vomiting — notably  the  vomiting  of  pregnancy.  It  is  a 
stomachic  tonic,  and  relieves  indigestion,  flatulence  and  dyspepsia. 

Recent  investigations  have  shown  that  Ingluvin  owes  its  curative 
effects,  not  to  any  ferment  corresponding  to  pepsin,  but  to  a peculiar 
bitter  principle.  This  result  is  the  more  satisfactory,  since  such  an 
organ  as  the  gizzard  could  hardly  furnish  the  necessary  quantity  of  a 
digestive  ferment  to  effect  the  results  now  known  to  be  produced  by 
Ingluvin. 

Under  ordinary  circumstances,  and  when  the  object  of  its  administra- 
tion is  to  promote  the  digestive  function,  it  should  be  taken  after  meals. 
When  the  object  is  to  arrest  the  vomiting  of  pregnancy,  it  should  be 
given  before  meals. 

But  only  the  successful  use  of  this  agent  and  the  apparent  sincerity  of 
the  composition  as  given  to  the  public  would  seem  to  justify  its  mention 
here.

The  above  combination,  which  we  have  successfully  and  scientifically 
put  in  pill  form,  produces,  when  taken  into  the  stomach,  Carbonate  of  the 
Protoxide  of  Iron  (Ferrous  Carbonate)  in  a quickly  assimilable  condition. 

This  Pill  contributed  to  make  the  reputation  of  Niemeyer,  and  the 
following  language,  which  speaks  without  comment,  is  taken  from  his 
Text  Book  on  the  Practice  of  Medicine. 

Prof.  NIFMKYKR  says:  “For  more  than  twenty  years  I have  used 
these  pills  almost  exclusively  in  Chlorosis,  and  have  witnessed  such  bril- 
liant results  from  them  in  a large  number  of  cases  that  I have  never  needed 
any  opportunity  to  experiment  with  other  articles.  At  Madgeburg  and 
Greifswald  I often  had  to  send  my  recipe  for  the  pills  to  a great  distance, 
my  good  fortune  in  the  treatment  of  Chlorosis — to  which,  by-the-bv,  I owe 
the  rapid  growth  of  my  practice — having  given  me  great  repute  as  the  pos- 
sessor of  a sovereign  remedy  against  that  disease.” 

The  dose  of  Pu : Chalybeate  is  from  i to  4 at  meal  times  and  is  recom- 
mended and  successfully  used  in  the  treatment  of  Pulmonary  Phthisis  or 
Consumption,  Anaemia  and  Chlorosis,  Caries  and  Scrofulous  Abscesses, 
Chronic  Discharges,  Dyspepsia,  Toss  of  Appetite,  etc. 

MGtfThe  physician  may  see  that  he  is  obtaining  exactly  what  he  prescribes 
by  ordering  in  bottles  of  100  each.

Dose. — One  or  two  pills  may  be  prescribed  three  times  a day. 

They  should  be  taken  immediately  after  eating. 


It  is  truly  stated  by  eminent  practitioners  that  these  pills 
will  cause  the  pale  lips  to  become  red  and  the  rosy  flush  of 
health  to  creep  into  the  face  in  about  two  weeks’  time. 

Le  Progress  Medicale : — “Iron  is  one  of  the  most  important  principles 
of  the  organism  and  the  only  metal  the  presence  of  which  is  indispensable 
to  the  maintenance  of  life.  It  exists  in  all  parts  of  the  system,  but  nowhere 
does  it  acquire  such  importance  as  in  the  blood. 

The  blood  of  a person  in  good  condition  contains  about  forty-five  grains 
of  Iron  ; when  this  amount  is  diminished  a decline  takes  place,  the  appetite 
fails,  the  strength  is  enfeebled,  and  the  blood  loses  its  fine  natural  color 
and  qualities. 

In  a great  number  of  diseases  such  as  anaemia,  chlorosis,  hemorrhages, 
debility,  etc.,  it  sometimes  happens  that  the  blood  has  lost  half  its  iron, 
and,  to  cure  these  diseases,  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  restore  to  the  blood 
the  iron  which  it  lacks,  and  great  care  should  be  exercised  that  the  most 
assimilable  form  of  iron  should  be  used,  one  that  penetrates  into  the 
organism  without  unduly  taxing  the  digestive  tract  or  interfering  with  the 
essential  qualities  of  the  gastric  j uice. ’ ’ 

In  chloro-ansemia,  Warner’s  Pil.  Chalybeate  Comp,  regenerates 
the  diseased  red  globules  of  the  blood  with  a rapidity  not  before  observed 
under  the  use  of  other  ferruginous  preparations  ; it  adds  to  their  physiolog- 
ical power,  and  makes  them  richer  in  coloring  matter.  Moreover,  being 
neither  stypic  nor  caustic  and  having  no  coagulating  or  astringent  action 
on  the  gastro-intestinal  mucous  membrane,  this  preparation  of  iron  causes 
neither  constipation  or  diarrhoea  as  it  does  not  need  to  be  digested  in 
order  to  be  absorbed,  it  does  not  give  rise  to  the  sensation  of  weight  in  the 
stomach,  or  the  gastric  pain  and  indigestion  occasioned  by  other  prepara- 
tions. In  women  who  have  not  menstruated  for  many  months,  the 
amenorrhoea  disappears;  in  others  suffering  from  an  anaemic  state  of  long 
duration,  give  in  proportion  as  the  ordinary  preparations  of  iron  have  not 
been  well  borne,  Warner’s  Pil.  Chalybeate  Comp,  one  or  two  after  each 
meal,  soon  restore  the  digestive  functions  to  their  normal  state. 

The  small  quantity  of  Nux  Vomica  is  added  to  increase  the  tonic  effect, 
to  give  tone  to  the  stomach  and  nerves  and  increase  the  appetite.

in  cases  of  enfeebled  digestion,  where  the  gastric  juices  are  not 
properly  secreted. 

As  a corrective  of  nausea  or  lack  of  appetite  in  the  morning, 
induced  by  over  indulgence  in  food  or  stimulants  during  the 
night,  these  pills  are  unsurpassed ; they  should  be  taken  in 
doses  of  two  pills  before  retiring,  or  in  the  morning  at  least  one 
hour  before  eating ; the  first  mentioned  time  is  the  most  desir- 
able as  the  effects  are  more  decided,  owing  to  the  longer  period 
for  action  and  the  natural  rest  is  more  fully  experienced  through 
their  mild  but  effective  influence. 

As  a dinner  pill,  Pil:  Digestiva  is  unequalled  and  may  be 
taken  in  doses  of  a single  pill  either  before  or  after  eating.

Iodoform  therapeutically  is  alterative,  nervine,  sorbefacient,  anti periodic  a. 
anaesthetic.  As  an  alterative  it  acts  with  more  rapidity  than  other  medicines  of  tlj 
class,  in  doses  of  one,  two  or  three  grains,  repeated  thrice  daily.  As  a nervine  it 
prompt  and  efficient;  while  it  gives  nervous  strength,  it  calms  speedily  the  rm 
severe  pains.  Its  sorbefacient  properties  are  manifested  with  some  degree  of  slo 
ness.  Five  to  seven  grains,  given  in  broken  doses  in  rapid  succession,  product- 
powerful  antiperiodic  effect. 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  to  the  Profession  the  following  Pills  of  Iodofor 
and  its  combinations.  Since  its  introduction  by  us  in  1871,  it  has  grown  in  perm

SALICYLIC  COJVIP. 

A POTENT  AND  RELIABLE  REMEDY  IN 

RHEUMATISM,  GOUT,  LUMBAGO  iP  KINDRED  DISEASES. 


This  preparation  combines,  in  a pleasant  and  agreeable  form,  Salicylic 
Acid,  Cimicifuge,  Gelseminum,  Sodii  Bi-Carb.  and  Potass.  Iodid.,  so 
combined  as  to  be  more  prompt  and  effective  in  the  treatment  of  this 
class  of  diseases  than  either  of  the  ingredients  when  administered  alone. 

This  remedy  can  be  given  without  producing  any  of  the  unpleasant 
results  which  so  often  follow  the  giving  of  Salicylic  Acid  and  Salicylate 
of  Sodium,  viz.:  gastric  and  intestinal  irritation,  nausea,  delirium,  deaf- 
ness, nervous  irritability,  restlessness  and  rapid  respiration ; on  the  con- 
trary, it  gives  prompt  relief  from  pain  and  quiets  the  nerves  without  the 
aid  of  opiates. 

Elixir  Salicylic  Comp,  has  been  extensively  used  in  private  practice 
for  several  years  with  almost  unvarying  success,  and  with  better  results 
than  any  other  mode  of  treatment  yet  suggested. 

It  is  a matter  of  great  satisfaction  to  us  to  be  able  to  place  before  the 
medical  profession  a remedy  so  effectual  in  the  cure  of  one  of  the  most 
stubborn  classes  of  disease. 

The  dose  is  from  a teaspoonful  to  a dessertspoonful,  and  incrensed 
as  necessary  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  case. 

Each  teaspoonful  contains  five  grains  of  Salicylic  Acid. 

Elixir  Salicylic  Comp,  is  put  up  in  12-oz.  square  bottles,  and  may  be 
obtained  from  Druggists  everywhere.

SPECIAL  PREPARATION  OF  THE 

FLDID  EXTRACT  OF  ERGOT. 

(Ext.  Secale  Cornutum,  Warner  & Co.,) 

FROM  CAREFULLY  SELECTED  SPANISH  GRAIN. 

This  preparation  has  been  before  the  profession  for  such  a 
length  of  time  and  its  use  attended  with  such  unvaried  success, 
that  we  deem  further  than  passing  comment  upon  its  merits 
unnecessary. 

Positive  action  and  uniformity  is  ensured  by  our  method  of 
preparation — one  minim  can  always  be  prescribed  as  fully  repre- 
senting one  grain  of  Brgot. 

The  following  letter  from  an  active  practitioner  will  fully  hear 
out  what  we  claim : 

Messrs.  W.  R.  Warner  & Co.,  1228  Market  St.,  Phila. 

Dear  Sirs : — I have  been  engaged  in  the  active  practice  of 
medicine  in  this  part  of  the  State  forty  years,  and  have  had  oc- 
casion to  use  Ergot  in  every  form  that  it  can  be  used,  but  I am 
free  to  confess  that  the  Fluid  Extract  of  that  drug  I got  from 
you  in  February  is  the  most  active  paturient  I have  ever  found, 
and  nauseates  less  than  I have  ever  seen  Ergot  in  substance, 
tincture,  infusion  or  extract,  fluid  or  solid  (Bodjean’s  Ergotine). 
Yours,  most  respectfully, 

Vieea  PeaTTE*  La.  C.  D.  T ATM  AN,  M.  D.

WARNER  & CO’S, 

SOLUBLE  GOITED  PILLS. 

These  Pills  are  unsurpassed  in  their  medicinal 
qualities,  as  only  the  best  materials  enter  into  their 
composition,  while  the  most  scrupulous  care  is  exercised 
in  their  manufacture. 

An  extended  laboratory  experience  comprising  un- 
ceasing attention  to  details,  during  a period  of  more 
than  a quarter  of  a century,  enables  us  to  arrive  at 
. results  otherwise  unattainable. 

We  claim  a method  of  coating  which  remains  per- 
manent, and  avoids  the  necessity  for  drying  the  mass 
so  hard  as  to  render  it  insoluble  or  inert.  This  scienti- 
fic method,  which  we  do  not  hesitate  to  call  our  own, 
is  fully  recognized  and  appreciated,  as  is  demonstrated 
by  the  confidence  reposed  and  the  success  attained. 

It  is  our  wish  to  emphatically  impress  upon  the 
minds  of  our  patrons,  that  our  make  of  Pills  will  pro- 
duce the  effects  that  should  be  expected  in  connection 
with  the  drug  employed,  and  that  every  other  desire  is 
subordinate  to  this  end.  We  thank  the  Profession  for 
the  very  liberal  endorsement  and  patronage  that  has 
been  accorded  us  and  offer  our  assurance  that  our  efforts 
shall,  as  heretofore,  be  directed  towards  the  production 
of  the  highest  class  of  Pharmaceutical  preparations.

Sumbul  Root 

(The  Root  of  Ferula  Sumbul) 

Nat.  Ord.  Umbelliferse. 

Common  names— Sumbul,  Musk  Root, 
Jatamansi. 

Description. — The  plant  that  produces  the  sumbul  root  is  an  herbaceous  peren- 
nial, with  an  erect  milk-bearing  stem,  and  is  a native  of  Central  Asia.  The  leaves 
are  mostly  radical,  large,  and  alternately  decompound,  with  the  ultimate  segments 
narrow  and  toothed.  The  upper  stem  leaves  are  reduced  merely  to  the  sheathing 
bases  of  the  petioles.  The  flowers  are  small , yellow  and  disposed  in  compound  umbels. 

Properties  and  Uses. — Sumbul  is  a stimulant  and  tonic  to  the  nervous  system; 
it  has  been  recommended  in  gastric  spasms,  hysteria,  delirium,  diarrhoea,  dysentery, 
leucorrhoea,  chlorosis,  asthma,  chronic  bronchitis,  and  other  maladies,  accompanied 
with  an  asthenic  condition.  In  nervous  diseases  of  a low,  depressing  character,  it 
has  been  found  very  useful,  especially  in  the  following  combination  which  we  prepare 
in  pill  form.  These  pills  are  prescribed  by  leading  physicians.  Don't  fail  to  specify 
Warner  & Co.,  to  avoid  substitutes  and  disappointment.

ditions in  conjunction  with  occasional  doses  of  Warner  & Co.'s  Bromo  Soda,  in  cases

TONO  SUMBUL  CORDIAL 


An  elegant  and  efficient  cordial  prepared  especially  for  physicians* 
prescribing.  This  valuable  therapeutic  agent  combines  the  well-known 
and  positive  Nerve  Tonic  and  Stimulant  properties  of  Sumbul 
Root,  the  Blood-Making  properties  of  Iron,  and  the  general  system 
tonic  and  antiperiodic  qualities  of  Cinchona  Bark,  together  with 
acid  phosphates,  so  blended  with  delightful  aromatics  as  to  present  a 
cordial  which  is  both  palatable  and  wonderfully  efficient  in  allaying  the 
troubles  for  which  it  is  intended. 

An  examination  of  the  ingredients  used  in  this  combination  and  due 
consideration  as  to  their  physiological  effects  will  satisfy  the  physician 
of  the  wide  scope  covered  by  this  tonic.  The  delicate  stomach  of  the 
inva’id  rebels  against  the  distasteful  and  nauseating  bitter  tonics.  Tono 
Sumbul  Cordial  is  free  from  this  objection,  having  a delightful  and 
pleasing  taste  in  its  combination  with  glycerine,  therefore  it  replaces  all 
such  compounds. 

Its  potency  is  highly  increased  by  the  addition  of  the  Iron  and  Cin* 
chona  Bark,  the  respective  medicinal  virtues  of  which,  when  properly 
presented,  would  admit  of  more  than  passing  comment. 

WARNER’S  TONO  SUMBUL  CORDIAL 

Is  put  up  in  12-oz.  flint  glass  bottles,  and  should  be  prescribed  in 
original  bottles  to  prevent  substitution  and  the  attending  disappoint- 
ments.

Bromo  Lithia  is  an  extremely  potent  remedy,  in  the  treat- 
ment of  Rheumatism,  Rheumatic  Gout  and  Gouty  Diathesis, 
originated  by  W.  R.  Warner  & Co.  It  consists  of  Salicylate 
Lithium,  io  grains,  and  Bromide  Sodium,  io  grains,  in  each 
dessertspoonful. 

It  will  be  found  to  possess  advantages  over  Salicylic  Acid, 
combining,  as  it  does,  the  efficacy  of  Lithium  in  combination 
with  Salicylic  Acid  as  well  as  the  sedative  properties  of  BrO' 
mide  of  Soda. 

Dr.  A.  Garod,  the  well-known  English  authority  on  Gout, 
who  was  the  first  physician  to  use  the  Salicylate  of  Lithia  in 
the  treatment  of  the  Gouty  Diathesis,  believes  that  its  action 
is  materially  increased  by  being  administered  in  a freely  diluted 
form. 

Bromo  Lithia  (Warner  & Co.)  being  an  effervescing  salt, 
furnishes  an  elegant  and  convenient  form  for  applying  Dr.  Garod’s 
methods,  and  we  have  pleasure  in  offering  it  to  the  profession. 
We  have  attained  skill  in  the  manufacture  of  these  elegant

our  efforts  if  they  will  specify  “ W.  R.  W.  & Co.’s.”
